What else can I help you with?
What kind of particles are equivalent to helium nuclei and are the most ionizing form of nuclear radiation?
An alpha particle
What is ionizing power of alpha particle?
it keeps no records of wrong
Which type of radiation is most dangerous if it's inhaled or swallowed?
Alpha radiation is the most dangerous type of radiation when inhaled or swallowed, as it is highly ionizing and can cause significant damage to tissues. Its low penetration ability allows it to come in direct contact with internal organs, increasing its harmful effects.
What is an alpha paricle?
An alpha particle is a type of ionizing radiation consisting of two protons and two neutrons, similar to the nucleus of a helium atom. It is relatively large and has low penetrating power, making it harmful if ingested or inhaled but less dangerous if it interacts with external surfaces.
What is a particle of alpha?
Alpha particles are positively charged. They have low penetrating power but high ionizing power.
What is the same between alpha and beta decay?
both are particle ionizing radiation that comes as a result of nuclear transformation.
An alpha particle is a form of ionizing radiation which consists of?
consists of two protons and two neutrons (ionized helium, He2+)
When a beta particle stikes a living cell does what?
A Beta particle is either an electron or a positron (depending on the atom that it originally came from), but usually an electron. This electron will bond with most atoms that it comes into contact with, thus ionizing that atom. This can be very damaging to cells, because it ionizes atoms within the cells that can alter the solubility of that atom, or alter the acidity of the water with in the cell. This can cause the cell to flatout die, or, if the beta particle interacts with the DNA within the cell, mutate the cell and cause cancer. Of cource, a single beta particle ionizing a single particle is no threat to a living person, it is when enough of these effect enough cells that problems arrise.
Which radiation detector is independent of particle A- wilson cloud chamber B- GM tube C- solid state detector D- all?
The Wilson Chamber has the radiation independent of the particle. This is a particle detector used for detecting ionizing radiation.
Could a particle of plutonium travel on the wind from japan to America and be inhaled and increase that persons cancer risk?
yes
What kind of particle is released when Po-210 becomes Pb-206?
alpha particle dont ask why cuz i dont know
What type of particle leaves a long thin trail in a cloud chamber?
An ionizing particle, such as an alpha or beta particle, leaves a long thin trail in a cloud chamber due to its interactions with the gas atoms in the chamber, causing condensation along its path. This trail can help scientists track and study the particle's properties and behavior.
